Challenging Drug Offenses

Whether you are arrested for
simple possession or possession for resale or delivery, we understand what's at stake. You can count on Patton & Pittman
to make every effort to avoid prison and a criminal conviction. Attorney
Chris Clark will explain the charges, examine the evidence against you and give you
an honest assessment of the likely outcome.

We first look for grounds to move for dismissal of charges or suppression
of evidence. Was there probable cause for a traffic stop or a legally
executed search warrant? Does the prosecutor's case depend on shady
informants who are cutting a deal for themselves? Can the prosecutor really
trace the drugs to you or support more than a simple possession charge?

If the prosecution has a solid case, we have the experience to negotiate
for a favorable plea. Pleading guilty to a lesser crime may be preferable
to mandatory prison terms of five, ten or more years for many drug crimes.
Diversion is also an option for many drug crimes, that if eligible, will
allow you to have the charge(s) expunged (erased) from your record. If
the state's case is weak or the prosecutor won't deal, we are
prepared to vigorously defend you at trial. Mr. Clark's experience
as an Assistant District Attorney gives our defense team an advantage
in knowing how to prepare your defense to counter the strategies of the
prosecution.
